Hudson River School Landscape Possibly Storm King Mountain, this had a Chapellier Rosenberger family note not more than a few decades old listing eight unstretched items in a portfolio and only two were unidentified Hudson River School oils of which this was one and one of the items was listed as Albert Bierstadt however we are uncertain if at the time of the inscription the present eight lots were the eight in the folio when we received them and no citations were given, oil on canvas, 25 x 30 inches, 26 x 21 x 0.1 for shipping calculations including unpainted edges, no visible signature, unstretched and unframed. Provenance: Chapellier-Rosenberger Estate, Manhattan and or Long Island, NY. Some items are Chapellier to Rosenberger, others are only Rosenberger as follows: Georges Chapellier was a Belgian art dealer who came from London to America after WWI and opened a gallery in Manhattan. The Smithsonian Archives of American Art summarize the gallery as: Galleries founded in 1916 in Brussels and London; in 1923 in New York City...Chapellier Galleries collected primarily important American paintings 1840-1940, and represented virtually all significant American painters of the period in their collections. The Chapellier Galleries sometimes acted as sole agents for the works in artists' estates; the Robert Henri estate, a notable example. Tagged in the Smithsonian archives under Chapellier Galleries are Robert Frederick Blum, William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri, John Frederick Kensett, Everett Shinn and Irving Ramsey Wiles. His estate was inherited by three daughters in 1978. A portion of the estate was descended by marriage to John Rosenberger who operated Rosenberger Galleries on Long Island. All Chapellier labeled and or exhibited items descend from the Georges Chapellier Estate. Items with a narrow yellow striped hand written label appear to be Rosenberger labels, some of former Chapellier material - however the later yellow label Rosenberger inscriptions of Chapellier inventory do not always match prior Chapellier citations. Some items, including many not cited specifically as Chapellier, may have other sources than Chapellier by Rosenberger. By descent in the Long Island family.

Removed from stretchers, most of edges absent, rear wax consolidated, craquelure, scattered paint loss with more damage and creasing towards edges, darkened varnish, as is, to fix.
